Inverness Class 158 Refurbishment

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
The twenty five Inverness based ScotRail Class 158s have received a £9 million refurbishment at Glasgow Works, funded by Transport Scotland.
